    It will be a lot easier if you just download the demo from PSN.
    That's if you have broadband internet.

    I say it's a waste of disc space that could better be used for higher bitrate video and audio.

    Better to buy a 500gb disc for storing demos, audio, video, etc.
    You will have more than enough with that.

    That might happen initially but eventually it is going to be put on the main disk to save money. Hard to see them putting extra expense into it when they are doing their best to save every possible cent on packaging as it is.

    I'm sure it'll all be on one disk, which is a waste of space when there's the PSN. But, how much does a typical PS3 demo take up? 1-2GB. Would be better used for less video compression, but the difference would probably be nil anyway.

    I'm sure they will be on the same disc. PSN will eventually have the demo as well, so those who don't pick it up will still be able to download it.
